The 62nd Lititz Antiques Show Regional Show Among The Most Popular In Marketplace
By Karl Pass - August 15, 2025
I thought Saturday was strong and great stuff sold, mentioned Cory Van Brookhoven, president of the Lititz Historical Foundation, the organization which runs the Lititz Antiques Show as its annual fundraiser. In its 62nd year, the show is as relevant as ever in a fast changing marketplace. Held June 27 and 28 in Warwick Middle School in Lititz, Pa., there were 51 dealers. Primarily country, this show boasts a variety of quality material which appeals to a large audience of todays buyers. Attendance was steady both Friday and Saturday, with advance ticket sales growing year-over-year and the overall gate up 13 percent from last year. A camera team from WGAL News (Lancaster) was there to showcase in their broadcast. Last year, WHTM News (Harrisburg) did a feature. Buyers came from Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts. Dealer spaces sold out earlier than most years, indicating how the show is viewed within a changing show circuit. Many exhibitors, both full and part time, said they like the time of year this show is held, always the last weekend in June during a neighboring extravaganza in Adamstown and Kutztown. Some mentioned wanting to do a show with lower overhead costs that brought in comparable attendance if not stronger buyers than certain other shows. Many reported being pleased with the amount of business done. For additional information, email show manager Tom Oehme at thomocc@yahoo.com.
